Common problems and easy repairs on a 2008 RX350

The 2008 Lexus RX350 is a moderately difficult vehicle to maintain, but shouldn’t be too hard for those experienced in vehicle maintenance. Access for the petcock for a coolant drain can be tough, as you will have to peel down a panel from under the vehicle first. You will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle for access to the spare tire. The lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle and be difficult to turn. Changing the headlight with reliability will be a problem as it will require more tools than usual to access.

Some things are easier on the 2008 Lexus RX350. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy to do, as the fluid dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. Changing the fog light is no problem, as you only have to reach through the bottom of the vehicle for access to the bulb. Both the front and rear wiper blades are easy to change on this vehicle. Other models will require the use of tools for changing your blades.
